Religious breakdown in India, 2011 Hinduism, at least 3500 years old by 2011, still dominates the religious perspectives of Indians in the 21 st century But thought dominant, Hinduism is certainly not the only religion practiced. The relationship between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists in India has greatly affected the history of the region.

The long history of religious difference as a source of conflict in India—here are some images of twentieth-century conflicts Aftermath of “Direct Action Day” conflict between Hindus and Muslims, 1947 Anti-Sikh riots, 1984

Noted penned by Mahatma Gandhi, 1927 Although written in 1927, how do Gandhi’s sentiments that “God is truth,” that truth exists, and that it can be approached through “ahimsa” or non-violence, relate to the Axial Age?

Rituals and traditions of Hinduism still practiced today

Indus River Valley and Ancient “India” – Iron Age Religion and Politics in the Mauryan Empire Ashokan Edicts by location After ruling ruthlessly for 9 years, Ashoka had a crisis in 260 bce. In that year, he waged a war against the Indian state of Kalinga, a war that was particularly brutal. Though he won the war, Ashoka was filled with guilt and horror after realizing the atrocities he and his armies committed. He then decided to convert to Buddhism, and then developed a campaign for promoting Buddhism within the empire. Part of this campaign was his issuing of the “Ashokan Edicts,” which he had carved in various stones and placed throughout the empire. How might these edicts apply to Ashoka himself? Or, in other words, in what ways is Ashoka willingly limiting his political power as a result of his religious beliefs? Worth noting that the conflict of the battle of Kalinga led to Ashoka’s conversion
